While Belgium is a small country in relation to many others in Europe, it is a powerhouse of sights and beauty. Home of the European Union, Belgium is divided into two linguistic groups: French and Dutch. While many come to visit the beautiful village of Bruges, there is so much more to Belgium. The university town of Ghent rivals Bruges in beauty and the historical area of Iper/Ypres, location of so many long fought battles during the first World War and the location where the poem In Flanders Fields was written, is not to be missed.
